The alleged image shows a silver device that looks very similar to the HTC 10. On the front of the handset we can see a camera and home button. On the back we see a camera, flash, and HTC logo.

What we don't see, however, is a headphone jack. Even though we don't have a clear view of the top or the bottom of the phone, it looks like there is some sort of USB charging-port at the bottom, while evidence of a headphone jack is nowhere to be found. Blass' Twitter followers, as well as Android Authority, were quick to point out the missing headphone jack. One such tweet was later retweeted by Blass himself.

Motorola's Moto Z and Apple's just-released iPhone 7 have both quit the headphone jack this year. While the trend is still new, a move to dongles, USB-C headphones and wireless hearphones might easily make this design the new normal.

HTC hasn't officially announced the Bolt, so for now, this is still no more than a rumor. HTC did not respond to CNET's request for comment.
